My dad bought a TV especially for the Queen's coronation, and all the
neighbours came in to us. He went without to give us kids everything he
could.
I also remember him going to the White City Stadium by bus and paying at the
turnstile to go in and see the final of the 100m (100 yards then) at the
last Olympics that were held in the UK in 1948 - bit different to the
corporate profitfest that's happening this time.
